Mental Health Minute: What Would Make You Really Happy--Right Now?

Feeling the mid-week blues? Confession: I am. I have so many deadlines staring me in the face and some impending health issues to face soon and well, I kind of don't want to face any of it. I want to think of happier things. So, join me! Turn away from your screen, tune out the screaming kid, forget the BF issues. What would make you really, really happy--right this minute?

And because we don't already have enough to stress about (the economy being today's biggie), let's turn our thoughts to happier things. An end to poverty, AIDS and cancer would be bliss, but let's allow ourselves to be a little selfish for a sec. Here's what's on my list:

-A surprise trip to Bora Bora (Jason, are you reading?)

-A toddler who would behave

-A call from my doctor saying "nevermind, the tumor has miraculously shrunk--no surgery needed, oh, and go ahead and have a dirty martini, new research shows that it has no effect on the baby's health." Ha.

-A wink from George Clooney

What would make you really happy right now?
